[21.06.2025]Im Rahmen des Forschungsseminars Analysis hält am Samstag, den 21.06.2025, um 9:15 Uhr, Frau Valentina Vetturi (Bari, Italien) einen Vortrag zum Thema:
Research as Performance
Abstract: What does it mean to consider research as a performative practice?
Beginning with this question, the talk will explore some key cycles of work by Valentina Vetturi, whose collaborative artistic practice is deeply interdisciplinary and unfolds over time through long-term projects.
Vetturi will share insights from her latest performative research, Mimosa Pudica (2024/), on how learning alongside plants about their memory can inform principles of digital ecologies. At the core of this research are two questions that have fueled Vetturi’s practice for over a decade: how do we remember and forget individually and as a society? And what remains of us when we no longer remember anything or if we remember too much? The movement created between these experiences shapes the essence of our mutating, hybrid identities. Mimosa Pudica collaborates with plants, observing their behaviours and structures as a form of shared inquiry. It searches for keys to interact with the techno-cosmos that shapes our daily lives.
The talk expands on themes explored in Vetturi’s previous works, such as Alzheimer Café (2014/), which addresses the persistence of musical memories to neurodegenerative conditions, and a series dedicated to the processes of digitization and digital memory, among which The Math of the Secret (2023/) and Tails (2023) focused on the idiosyncrasies of generative AI training and the materiality of the web infrastructures.
Mimosa Pudica is a path to discover the consonances and divergences between digital human and plant memory. Remembering, forgetting: What do they mean? How are they done when we transition from humans to other species and then to digital?
